TThe time has come again. Each year, far and wide across the land of the Barony of Atenveldt, good gentles
come to compete and to support competitors in multiple fields of prowess. On the martial fields – Hardsuit, Rapier,
and Archery, as well as in the Arts and Sciences, Bardic, Equestrian, and Thrown Weapons traditions.
Archery, Equestrian, and Thrown Weapons competitions will be held at their customary practice times and
locations, on the 19th and 17th, and 4th of October respectively. All other competitions will be held at the primary
champion’s event on the 25th. On that day, their excellencies will announce who they feel, through both prowess and
personality, best embody a champion of the field.
But what is expected of a champion? More than mere prowess, a champion is one who champions – they
enthusiastically support, promote, defend, and advocate for others to participate in or learn about the field which
they represent, and the Barony they represent it in. They do so internally, and as representatives of the barony when
outside of baronial lands.
